city. mitt romney has taken another step toward the republican presidential nomination. after scoring a decisive victory in the illinois primary. romney won with 47% of the vote. defeating rick santorum by 12 points. ron paul and newt gingrich were down in the single digits. romney's illinois win adds another 41 delegates to his total haul, which now stands at nearly 500. those still far from the 1144 needed to clinch the nomination, romney has close to 300 more delegates than santorum. with the general election in mind, romney focuses his election night speech on attacking president obama while touting his own experience in the private sector. >> for 25 years i lived and breathed business and the economy and jobs. i had successes and failures. but each step of the way, i learned a little bit more about what it is that makes our american system so powerful. you can't learn that teaching constitutional law at university of chicago, all right? you can't even learn that as a community organizer. the simple truth is that this president doesn't understand the genius of america's economy. o

you. >> that's "countdown." congratulations on getting through another day of this crap romney took illinois. good night and good luck. i'm jennifer grandholm this is the "war room." elections, budgets, i love it! illinois voters have spoken, and mitt romney is their choice. we will analyze the results. we'll also preview the next phase of the gop dog fight, and then on to the budget. i know a lot of you may think it's boring, but truly the budget is where it's at. paul ryan defines the republican agenda with this budget bomb shell today. the rich are going to get richer, health care and snowstorm programs will get gutted, except for one thing. it ain't going to happen. and we'll tell you why. this is the "war room." come on inside. ♪ >> so the polls predicted a mitt romney win, and they were right. we're looking at our map of what is going on. 28% in but everybody has called it for mitt romney. not really a surprise at all. in chicago if you take a look just at cook county -- cook county has 43% of the population, which is almost half of the state. if you combine cook

saying that this is on this trajectory the beginning of the end of romney becoming the nominee and having the delegates in hand before tampa. >> the beginning of the end says mark halperin. michael steele, you once said that mitt romney, the brother just can't bake the cake. it looks like the oven may be hot enough for romney. let's look at the winner board. romney at 47% of the vote in illinois. rick santorum at 35%. ron paul at 9% is, gingrich at 8%. more staggering i guess is the delegate total romney at 485, santorum at 193, gingrich at 137, paul at 34. what do you make of it? >> i agree with park. he's clearly and always been kind of the guy to beat and been out there, but it doesn't mean you're not going to have tensions going into this convention that i still don't believe he'll have 1144 when he gets to tampa. he'll have to negotiate that. i don't see how he wins 50 plus percent of the delegates. he got 47 here in illinois, which was tailor-made for him. illinois's a state where he should have had 52, 53% of the vote in which case that -- when you hit that threshold, you get all t
